Success with sweet almond oil!!

I have had dry skin for ages aswell and tightness after washing.I brought some sweet almond oil from a health shop and started using it as well as my moisteriser.After a week i have had no problems with my dryness!!skin also feels smooth.I've been apply it neat the last few days without using moisturiser.Just wonder if anybody knows if its ok to use this dailey??I know its classed as a carrier oil and is ok to use neat on skin and is also used as a mixer for other oils.Now i just gotta find some oils to mix with it to reduce the redness!!!

Almond oil is fine for reducing dryness but using the lemon oil which is known as miracle oil for skin and hair will be more beneficial. The best thing is you can use it daily without any harmful effect. It can help your skin from both ends internally and externally. The vitamin C found in it will improve your skin internally while it will moisturize your skin externally and retain its elasticity to provide younger and softer skin.

I have tried many different oils as a carrier for a 4% solution of Tea Tree Oil to use on my face and have found Sweet Almond Oil to be the best. Jojoba oil actually made my skin drier... odd, but true.

Sweet Almond Oil has worked very well for me... both as a straight moisturizer and as a carrier for the drops of Tea Tree Oil.
